Sadhana of Shakyamuni Buddha

The Sadhana of Shakyamuni Buddha, Treasury of Blessings of the Liturgy of the Muni, was written by Mipham Rinpoche in 1900. A commentary on this sadhana, written by Khenpo Gawang Rinpoche, was published in 2009 by Jeweled Lotus Publishing. Khenpo Gawang performing the sadhana with members of the Pema Karpo Meditation Center in Memphis TN, USA can be experienced at [1]. The sadhana takes about 15 minutes to perform. It does not require an empowerment according to Khenpo Gawang,

The Sadhana is published on Lotsawa House The Treasury of Blessings—A Practice of Buddha Śākyamuni by Mipham Rinpoche.

All of the published versions included here begin with a reference to verses from the Samādhirāja Sūtra: In general, whatever you are doing, whether it is moving, walking, sleeping or sitting, you should constantly remember the Buddha. Even at night, when you go to sleep, consider that the radiance of the Buddha’s form illuminates the whole of space in every direction, lighting it up as brightly as during the day. (Lotsawa House)
